These compounds are substituted through aluminum-trichloride-catalyzed alkylation and acylation reactions. Cyclooctatetraene is not one of these compounds, because it is tub-shaped rather than planar. Characterized by sp2 ("s p two") hybridization and a small carbon-to-hydrogen ratio, these compounds must have a number of pi electrons that is 2 more than a multiple of 4, according to Hückel's rule. Characterized by a cyclic cloud of delocalized pi electrons, they are relatively unreactive despite being highly unsaturated. For 10 points, name these compounds, exemplified by pyridine and benzene

For 10 points, name these compounds, exemplified by pyridine and benzene, whose name suggests a pleasant odor.
